More than enough to meet the production capacity of HAL.Laudable efforts.. however the engine issue with GE must be sorted out before dreaming.. 20 engines/yr from GE will not be sufficient for combined internal & export orders..

As per HAL themselves, they are aiming for a roll-out in late 2025 and first flight in late 2026 or early 2027. Considering their track record, I'd push those dates back by 6-12 months each.Even though Tejas MK2 hasn't been developed or made in detail they were sure that the technology would of been ready and progressed.
Knowing them, they are already at 8G or beyond. After all, 6G is on the horizon.Dreaming of export orders even before a single plane is produced and delivered to the IAF,it's like PSUs are already on 6G internet!!
We have some 160 Jaguars, 55 Mirage 2000s, and 75 MiG-29s in the IAF. That works out to 280 fighters in total. Now, if the UAF procures 180 Tejas Mk 2 aircraft (10 squadrons) plus trainers, then they can recoup the present squadron strength once you add in the 114 MRFA aircraft. The main catalysts to grow squadron strength seem to be the Tejas Mk 1A, and eventually, the AMCA.120-200 Tejas Mk II are not enough for India by any means.
Tejas Mk II is the bread and butter, and meat and potatoes type of fighter for India and it will replace all of Jaguars, Mirage-2000IPGs, Mig-29UPGs, and all those Migs already retired.
Tejas Mk IA is to replace all of Mig-21s and some as it has tremendous potential as it will carry Astra Mk I immediately and keep the enemy at least 90+ kms away from border while still flying safely 20 kms in Indian lands.
India and IAF must concentrate on this fighter of the future.
Best wishes.
Like the Tejas whipped the grippen c&d so will tejas mk Ii kick both rafale and grippen e.The MK2 can best try to equal the gripen E IF everything goes well. This self praising saying that it is the best fighter in the world should stop. even the chinese dont do it.Only Pakistan does it regarding the jf-17.
We don't take Frank very seriously over here.With all that said and done and with improvement on those aspects not exactly visible, are you still sticking to your point?
- The aircraft is several years behind schedule, and still not on the ground actually.
- HAL has proven to be incapable of efficiency production rates.
- A number of foreign orders don't go through because the Tejas has equipment from way too many nations running it.
- Private players haven't been invited, and they haven't shown interest either, simply because of a lack of sustained orders.
By "increasing production capacity" they were referring to the production capacity of Samosas for the HAL staff.As for the production capacity, HAL claims they are working on increasing it, but I'll believe it when it actually happens.
Don't forget the new stoves they are getting for Chai, boss.By "increasing production capacity" they were referring to the production capacity of Samosas for the HAL staff.
Oh, I know. Anyone who feels you can get world-beating military equipment simply by having the best minds (and nothing else) can't be taken seriously on a forum such as this.We don't take Frank very seriously over here.
For that you need Enough Production !!! LOLI hope you had the brains to understand that more export orders means our forces can buy more, we can spend more on R&D.
Dillusional. You forgetting HAL's track record .....Good

We can not even claim to have worlds Best minds , looking at our DPSU's Record & performance.....or Non Performance. LolOh, I know. Anyone who feels you can get world-beating military equipment simply by having the best minds (and nothing else) can't be taken seriously on a forum such as this.
Can HAL even produce 20 Aircraft a year .....lolLaudable efforts.. however the engine issue with GE must be sorted out before dreaming.. 20 engines/yr from GE will not be sufficient for combined internal & export orders..
HAL, can you make a prototype first.What a joke. Fix your production first.
and Eurofighter Typhoon.Like the Tejas whipped the grippen c&d so will tejas mk Ii kick both rafale and grippen e.
it is not just reported by Kunde, it is all over the internet in many news media, I think HAL pays to spread these kind of rumor.there is no official statement of the MOD regarding export of the MK2.
